They're usually fairly consistent as to when they release the show - generally late may to early June. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This years theme is not as straight forward as recent years. As for the drums - they're where they should be at this point in the season. They have a lot of book to learn with plenty of time to learn and clean as they move in a week before the rest of the corps. I'm not so much concerned as curious. I can imagine a number of ways to go at the concept. Perhaps that's where your concern is rooted? I have a pretty solid guess about the particular angle they might pursue and I'm patiently waiting to see if I'm close to the mark. The great "unknown" if you will are all the production elements we just have no clue about (set design, staging, costuming , color palette, etc...) And that's pretty normal -- we don't get to see visual until things hit the field. The fundamental theme makes it pretty simple to understand; getting from X➾Y won't be a challenge for the viewer.

All of the above - my mind is going absolutely nuts trying to put the pieces together. Last year was easy, it all fell into place once I saw the first rehearsal. The music is awesome... Can it be late June already??? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I look back on last years emails.. On May 13th they announced their show to those who donated to their fundraiser. On April 7th of 2016 they started that campaign. As of today. I have not seen any type of campaign/fundraiser geared toward announcing their 2017 show. So I would assume, much like Bluecoats did last year, they are going to be hush hush till mid June. I may be wrong but who knows. =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
